This is the first project for the Android Nanodegree. It's broken down into two stages:
- Stage 1 allows the user to serach for an artist and display that artist's top 10 tracks
- Stage 2 allows the user to stream and listen to a Spotify sample of a selected track
- Icons from material icon pack: https://www.google.com/design/icons/
- Used helper class to write to and read from a Bundle for when the device is rotated. Initially I thought about implementing
Parcelableon the model classes. However, since only a few of the class fields are used in the adapters I felt that parcelizing only a few fields doesn't accurately preserve the entire model via parceling. Thus, only the consumers of the data (fragments and adapters) control what fields should be written / read. - Master/Detail implementation based on Android Studio's template
- Used tips from http://developer.android.com/guide/components/bound-services.html for
PlaybackService - When the 'next' or 'previous' button is tapped: (mimics behavior of Google Play Music)
- The next or previous track starts playing even if the current track was paused
- The first track of the list will play if the current track is the last one on the list
- The last track of the list will play if the current track is the first one on the list
To run tests: ./gradlew test --continue
